b138oo Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So I just had time to watch Chopin 1.0 he performed at DOI and boy oh boy it was beautiful It felt a little bit weird for me because Chopin 2.0 has been the "it" program for me and I always go back to watch it over and over, thus the sequence of the program is already imprinted in my mind. I love this program the most bc I felt the step sequence really showed Yuzu's skills and I can't wait to see how he expands the program even more. Since it's the Olympic season, blue is the special color isn't it? I think his Chopin 2.0 costume's color really suits the Olympic with blue and tiny bit gold. Also, the costume really made his delicacy stood out. I really can't wait for the costume too argghhh I'm soooo excited hahaha I guess the roler coaster of emotions we had ytd built up the hype (or should I say, nerves? Tension?) for the Olympic season even more Link to comment
SparkleSalad Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Plushenko made it to 4 Olympics with a robo-spine. Why can't he focus on emulating that instead of the mushroom? I don't think he'll r**** anytime soon, anyway. Thee are too many more challenges he wants to face. He's said with a completely straight face in press conferences that he wants to land 4A in competition and nobody around him flinched. If he doesn't get Olympic gold there's not a chance he'll bow out like that. (I'm trying very hard not to wish for silver.) Link to comment

Eeehhhhh... yeah, no please. I'd rather have him r**** earlier but as healthy as possible then force himself through something like that Link to comment
beki Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I don't want him to go through the pain and surgeries Plushenko had, but his persistence is really admirable and something to emulate. Also, we noticed at Japanese nationals the men's field wasn't deep anymore. Aside from Shoma and maybe Sota, who will take over? He's still needed like Plushenko was. Link to comment
yuzuangel Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I don't mind if he skates on like Patrick: healthy but not pushing himself too hard, finishing in top 4-6 rather than top 2. Of course, skating on for the love of skating and experimenting rather than a sense that something is incomplete or missing. That would make me so happy. Link to comment

He has to win every single time. It's just him... Link to comment

Katt Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Well given how competitive Yuzuru is, I doubt he will skate for top 5 finish. He will always aim for gold. He seem to be the type that want to finish his career when he's still on top of the game. Link to comment

This is the man who takes a silver medal as a defeat. Link to comment

As a fan, I'd really rather see him be happy and healthy than to see that many more years of competitions from him. Link to comment

Murieleirum Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 One has to wonder what effect would a second OGM have on him... his younger self said he might decide to r**** after that, but what if, once he'll have it... he'll actually crave for more?! That would totally be In Character. Link to comment
